I sold my old computer today.

I built my desktop machine from scratch in January of 2004. Six years is a long time for a computer. With that machine, I played games, got jobs, got dates, and produced some of my best work of recent memory. It's a lot of history. It's strange that my relationship with a machine should last longer than with most ( Read more... )

Haven't been on LJ in a long while. Too much to read and not enough time. My birthday was yesterday. I took it easy. I cleaned and cooked. I had a guest for dinner. She brought me cake ( Read more... )

Something bit me on my hands and elbow last night. I woke up with my hands extremely itchy.  I think it was a spider as the bites were gone by this afternoon. I also woke up with a headache and could not fall asleep because Xero was meowing constantly. I need to sedate him at night or something.

I hardly check LJ much these days. I tend to favor actual email and phone calls or lurk on FB - if you call that socializing.

Still here. Still searching for a job. I have some leads and an interview on Friday. It will be weird to work full time again after a year.

Since when did I become such a grumpy old man over technology? I used to be ( Read more... )

So at last, I am DONE with this semester. Five more to go ( Read more... )

In case you haven't noticed. The streets in downtown SF which are normally Tow-Away zones from 3pm-6pm are now 3pm-7pm.  This pisses me off for two reasons:

1. The local businesses have their weeknight business cut by one hour. Sure, you can pay to park, but who really wants to do that when you used to be able to squat a parking spot at 5:55pm. I am ( Read more... )
